A Free Gift for Your Wholehearted Success!
By Nicole Moorey
February is Love Month, and when it comes to growing and sustaining a business and life you love, there’s no relationship more important that the one you have with yourself!
As a woman – and specifically as a woman entrepreneur – you may know this, yet you still struggle with taking care of YOU while you’re taking care of business and everything else!
Maybe you started a business so that you could have the freedom to enjoy what matters most to you, only to find that you can’t seem to juggle everything on your plate – and you definitely don’t have time for yourself!
Or maybe you’ve created a thriving business, but you still don’t feel successful because you’re not honouring yourself and your personal life.
I can relate as I’ve felt this way too, which is why I’m so passionate about helping women enjoy wholehearted success in all areas of their lives. So if your relationship with yourself could use a little boost (or a complete overhaul), then keep reading.
When I use the term wholehearted success, I’m referring to success as you define that for yourself, according to what matters most to you in your life. These are the truest desires of your heart (like connection, fun, love or peace, for example) and may or may not also include what society attributes to success (such as wealth, respect or fame).
As a Personal Success and Empowerment Coach, I know there are many ways to discover, create and enjoy your own wholehearted success. Here are the two most powerful ones I know that are guaranteed to enhance your relationship with yourself and will lead to a business and life you love.
Self-Love + Courageous Action = Wholehearted Success
SELF-LOVE ideally means to show yourself love in all situations, at all times, always.
Realistically however, self-love is a life-long journey and we’re all at different points along the path. The way I see it, self-love:
- Starts with self-awareness – knowing all of who you are – the so-called “good, bad and ugly” of your body, mind, heart and spirit;
- Leads to self-appreciation – learning to appreciate all of yourself, where you have been in life and where you want to go;
- Comes together with self-acceptance – accepting all of yourself, especially those parts that you haven’t easily accepted in the past;
- Ultimately arrives at a steady place of self-love – loving all of who you are and who you have the potential to become.
But you don’t have to wait until the end of your journey to enjoy self-love! The secret is to practice self-love daily for a fulfilling, more abundant and empowered today – which over time leads to our wholehearted success tomorrow. To do this, infuse every day with self-care, self-compassion, self-kindness and receiving love from others.
What can you do for 30 minutes today to show yourself some love?
COURAGEOUS ACTION is the second essential part of the equation. Did you know that the word courage originally meant “heart” and “innermost feelings”? Perhaps that’s why taking courageous actions in your life that come from your heart, the place of your deepest desires, leads to powerful results.
While I’m a huge advocate of doing your inner work, there comes a point when you must take external action to realize your dreams. For best results with your courageous acts:
- Start with resistance – approach and address your specific concerns with curiosity and compassion;
- Shift to courage – prepare yourself by gathering information and making the right plan for you;
- Make the leap – put your plan into action and keep going despite the inevitable setbacks you’ll face;
- Enjoy your success – celebrate your accomplishments thanks to your courage in pushing past your comfort zone and honouring yourself and your dreams!
What small courageous act can you practice today to move yourself closer to the desires of your heart?
So if you struggle with taking care of yourself while you’re taking care of business, and you want wholehearted success in your business and life, then I have a SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU!
